Difficulty of Rhyming.
We parted by th 6 gate in Jane,
That soft and balmy month,
Beneath the sweetly beaming moon,
And (wunth —hunth—sunth—bunth—I can’t find
a rhyme to month.)
Years were to pass ere we should meet;
A wide and yawning gulf
Divides me from my love so sweet,
While (ulf —sulf—dulf—mulf—stuck agin; I
oan’t get any rhyme to gulf. I’m in a gulf myself.)
Oh, how I dreaded in my soul
To part from my sweet nymph,
While years should their long seasons
Before (hyrnph—dymph—yinph—l guew I'll
have to let it go at that.)
Beneath my fortune’s stern decree
My lonely spirits sunk,
For Ia weary soul should be,
And (hunk —dunk —runk—sk—that will never
do in the world.)
She buried her dear, lovely face
Within her azure scarf,
She knew I’d take the wretchedness
As well as (parf—sarf—darf—karf-and-harf ;
that won't answer, either.)
Oh, I had loved her many years,
I love her for herself ;
I love her for her tender tears,
And also for her (welf —nelf—helf—pelf! no!
no! not for her pelf.)
I took between my hands her head,
How sweet her lips did pouch!
I kissed her lovingly, and said—
(Boucko— nioucke—louche -oncli! not a bit of
it did I say ouch !)
I sorrowfully wrung her hand,
My tears they did escape,
My sorrows they could not command,
And I was but a (sape—dape—fajie— ape ; well,
perhaps I did feel like au ape.)
I gave to her a fond adieu,
Sweet pupil of love’s school;
I told her I would e’er bo trne,
And always boa dool—sool—moot—fool; since
I come to think of it I was a fool, for she fell in
love with another fellow before I was gone a
mouth.

'l’lie Power oi* Words.
UY W. D. SUEMVAN.
A WORD! ’T is but a breath that
lingers on the ear one little instant, and
is still forever. How lightly spoken
but oh ! how potent for good or evil !
Gentle words fall upon the W?art
with a softening influence, as the dews
of heaven fill upon flowers, exhaling
their sweet odors and perfuming the
passing breeze. But let a whisper of
scorning he breathed into'the sensitive
ear, and how quickly the tearful eye
tells l ow deep down into the soul the
burbed shaft was driven, there to rankle
and (ester until it springs up and hears
the bitter fruits of hate and wrong and
death.
A single word, and the cherished
hope of a life perishes as the tender
flower withers before the searing frosts
of winter—vanishing like the mists of
the morning before the rising sun. One
word—not more than the twang of the
bow-str ng when the arrow speeds upon
its flight— and the soul leups with joy ;
its mission for years, perhaps, is accom
plished, its object is attained ; the vis
ions over which it has dreamed as the
eye lingers on beautiful pictures, are
realized.
The merry laugh of childhood, that
gushes Irotn the innocent heart of
youth as the waters from the clear,
deep fountain, and the groans of age,
as it totters to the brink of the grave,
come to us in words. Joy and sorrow,
love and hate, are borne to us on the same
breeze; and the dread destiny of Life
or Death hangs upon the utterance
ofthelifg. Go watch yon wretched,
trembling man, who has, perhaps, dyed
his hands in a brother’s blood, as he lis
tens to the words of fate. He has pass
ed through a thousand dangers with a
cheek unblanched. Perchance he has
bared his breast to the battle when the
storm of war raged high, and the hurt
ling shot fell around him like pattering
hail; yet he feared not the thunders of
the cannon’s roar. But now he stands
alone to hear the word of doom from
those who hohyds destiny in their lips.
He listens—it comes in that awful whim
per—Guilty! That little word, more
powerful than the pealing thunder,
strikes down the strong man groveling
iu the dust. See him now, a condemned
criminal, as he ascends the scaffold to ex
piate his cffence with his life. See him
tuke a farewell look upon the world, to
him how fair, how doubly dear. He
closes his eyes to meet his doom—but a
word floats to him on the air— Pardon!
’T is sweeter than lute-string touched
by fairy hands.
But words are stronger still. Look
upon the stars that deck the sky, and
know how came they there. “The earth
was without form and void, and daik
ness was upon the face of the deep ;
the Spirit of God moved upon the face
of the waters, and God said, ‘Let there
be light,’ and there was light.” The
Omnipotent had spoken the words of
creation, and the universe was bathed
in a flood of light poured from the altar
of the Great Jehovah. The star-be
gemmed Bky was unrolled like a scroll,
and the sun came forth in all his glory,
obedient to the word of power ; and ris
ing in grandest chorus, the archangels
burst forth in thrilling anthems— I"Glo
ria in Excelsit Deo" around the Sacra
mental Throne.
Darkness is settling upon the towers
and battlements of Jerusalem ; the gil
ded spires of the great Temple no
longer flash back in glint and sheen the
glimmering rays of yon glorious sun.—
Deeper, still deeper settles down the
gloom. But hush ! bark !—From the
dark-mantled brow of bloody Calvery a
voice breaks upon the murky atmos
phere, and fils upon the ear in accents
of agony: “E/oi! Etui! lama tabadhani f"
—iny God !my God / why hast thou for
saken me? Down,down—deeper,heavi
er settles the impenetrable darkness upon
all created things. The lightnings
flash with lurid glare, and the thunders
growl in angry nritterings. The vail
of the Temple, with one appalling crash
is rent in twain. The rocka are burst
asunder. All things give signs of un
utterable woe—all things feel the
dreadful shock. The earth sways to
and Iro, and fr.e hills—the eternal hills
—reel upon their deep foundations and
stagger like a di unken man. All is
gloom—all is darkness—all is terror ;
and the heathen pilosopber ciies out in
pale consternation, “the end of all
things is nigh, or the God of nature suf
fers.” Again words break upon the
affrighted world : “It it fimuhed /” The
great sacrifice has been offered up
—the redemption of man is complete—
and the Son sits on the right hand of
the Father forever in Paradise, to in
tercede for the fallen sons of Adam.
Oh ! then, let us consider well before
we utter words, which though they
may seem “trifles light as air,” be
come the messengers of fate. Re
member that from the words of the
great Book must the destiny of all man
kind be fixed through the never ending
ages of vast Eternity.
Thomson, Ga., Nov. 20, 1572.
The Centonnlal Commission.
Below we give the Address of the
United States Centennial Commission,
which explains itself. The object is
commenduble and patriotic, and the
plan of arrangements, if tu ly carried
out, will make this the grandest and
most magnificent celebration the world
ever witnessed.— [Eds. Journal.]
AN ADDRESS BY THE UNITED STAT 8
CENTENNIAL COMMI SION.
To the Poeple of the United Stales :
The Congress of the United States
has enacted that the completion of the
One Hundreth Year of American Inde
pendence shall be celebrated by an In
ternational Exhibition of the Arts,
Manufactures, and Products of the soil
and mine, to bo held at Philadelphia,
in 1876, and has appointed a Commis
sion, consisting of representatives from
each State and Territory, to conduct
the celebration.
Originating under the auspices of the
Nitional Legislature, controlled by a
National Commission, and designed. as i
TERMS—TWO DOLLARS IN ADVANCE
it is to “Commemorate the first Century
of our existence, hy an Exhibition
of the National resources of the
Country and their development,
and of our progress in those Arts which
benefit mankind, in comparison with
those older Nations,” it is to the people at
large that the Commission look for the
aid which is necessary to make the Cen
tennial Celebration the grandest anniver
sary the world has ever set n.
That the completion of the first cen
tury of our existence should be marked
by some emposing demonstration is, we
believe, the patriotic wish of the peo
ple of the whole country. The Con
gress of the United States has wisely
decided that the Birth day of tt e Greut
Republic can be most fittingly celebra
ted by the universal collection and dis
play of all »he trophi-s of its progress.
It is designed to bring together, with
in a building covering fifty acres, not
only the varied productions of our mines
and of the soil, but types of all the in
tellectual triumphs of our citizens,
specimens of everything that America
can furnish, whether from the brains
or the hands of her children, and thus
make evident to theworld the ad
vancement of which a self governed
people is capable.
In this "Celebration” all will be in
vited to participate ; its character be
ing International. E jrope will diplay
her arts and manufactures, India her
curious fabrics, while newly opened
China and Japan will lay bare the treas
ures which for centuiits their ingenious
fieople have been perfecting. Each
and will compete in generous rivalry for
the palm of superior excellence.
i'o this grand gathiring every zone
will contribute its fruits and cereals.—
No Mineral shall be wanting; for what
the East lac&s the West will supply.—
Under one roof will the South display
in rich luxuriance her growing cotton,
and the North in miniature, the cease
less machinery of her mills converting
that cotton into cloth. Each section of
the globe will send its best offerings to
this exhibition, and each btate of the
Union, as a member of one united body
politic, will show to her sister States
and to the world, how mnch she can
add to the greatness of the nation of
which she is a harmonious t art.
To make the Centennial Celebration,
such a success as the patriotism and
the pride of every American demands
will require the co-operation of the peo
ple of the whole country. The United
States Centennial Commission has re
ceived no Government aid, such as En
gland extended tp her World's Fair, and
France to her Universal Exposition, yet
the labor and responsibility imposed
upon the Commission is as great as in
either of those undertakings. It is esti
mated that ten millions of dollars will
be required, and this sum Congress has
provided shall be raised by stock sub
scription, and that the people shall
have the opportunity of subscribing
iu proportion to the population of their
respective States and Territories.
The Commission- looks to the unfail
ing patriotism of the people of every
section, to see that each contributes its
shore of the benefits of an enterprise in
which we all are sodeeply interested. It
would further earnestly urge the forma
tion in each State and Territory of a
centennial organization, which shall in
time see that county associations are
formed, so that when the nations are
gathered together in 1876 each Com
monwealth can view with pride the
contributions she has made to the na
tional glory.
Confidently felying on the zeal and
patriotism ever disp ayed by our peo
ple in every national undertaking, we
pledge and prophecy, that the Centen
nial Celebration will worthily show
how greatness, wealth and intelligence,
can be fostered by such institutions as
those which have for one hundred
years blessed the people of the United
States.

A Quaker who had been troubled
with rats informed a friend that he
greased a thirty-foot board, filled it full
of fish hooks, set it up at an angle of
forty five degrees, and put an old cheese
at the top. The rats.«went up, slid
back and he caught thirty of 'em the
first night.
Don Piatt says there are two seasons
in which our Administration seeks re
pose from its gigantic labors; one is
that which precedes the holidays, and
the other that which^ follows.
